Reference: Proposal Memo: Investigating Solutions for Enhancing Recycling Education in Long Bridge Subdivision Dear Long Bridge Neighborhood, The recycling program in the Long Bridge Subdivision faces a significant challenge with high contamination rates, undermining its effectiveness and contributing to unnecessary landfill waste. Despite the existence of a recycling program, residents lack adequate education on proper recycling practices. This issue not only threatens environmental sustainability but also impacts community well-being and resource management. Through ethos, pathos, and logos, we underscore the importance of addressing this problem: appealing to credibility (ethos) by acknowledging the significance of environmental sustainability, evoking empathy (pathos) by highlighting the impact on community health and utilizing logic (logos) by emphasizing the economic and environmental consequences of ineffective recycling practices. Addressing the issue of recycling education aligns with our institution's vision of promoting environmental sustainability and community well-being. By tackling this problem, we contribute to the enhancement of our community's quality of life and foster a culture of responsible resource management. Investigating solutions for enhancing recycling education will benefit the organization by: Improving the effectiveness of the recycling program in Long Bridge Subdivision. Reducing contamination rates and minimizing unnecessary landfill waste. Enhancing community engagement and fostering a sense of environmental stewardship. Demonstrating our commitment to sustainable practices and contributing to the institution's reputation as a leader in environmental initiatives.
